    Perfect for our family. Loved the ability to spread out but still have room to be together. The game room was great! Had a minor issue that Vacasa quickly addressed, as usual! Very clean. Overall, a wonderful property in a great location - within 30 minutes of several attractions. Would recommend it.

    The Willy bear property was very comfortable, safe, and clean. My family and I enjoyed our stay and were even pleasantly surprised at all of the infant/kid friendly options the cabin included. In the main bedroom closet there was a pack n play and even a sound machine! We brought our own, but it was so nice to see there was a back up just in case. We did have some issues with the hot tub, but customer service walked us through exactly what to do and everything worked out fine. The neighborhood is a gated community just as advertised and everyone is pretty well spaced out. There are not many marked out hiking trails (if any) through the neighborhood that we saw, but it was beautiful to walk around some of the roads all the same. Another highlight was the cinnamon roll shop down in town! Gogo's Cinnamon Rolls was not only delicious with several different fresh made options, but they also are a very kind and professional staff. Everything was very clean and well done and reasonably priced. An excellent breakfast choice for any day of your stay. All in all this is a great house with plenty of space for a small or large group for any time of the year.
